1 John 4:8 The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love. The greatest thing us humans have going for us is that God is a God of love. When we look at all the ways we can and do offend God (and often multiple times in a single day) […]

Galatians 5:13 For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but serve one another through love. When we receive Jesus into our hearts and lives, so much changes about us that is not apparent right away. Wonderful things do occur such as […]

James 3:1 My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment. So often we do things without understanding the repercussions that may come about because of our actions. Years ago I worked in the warehouse. The man I worked with was in his early twenties. One Monday […]

“For God so loved the world that He gave His very best—His Son, Jesus—so that we could have a personal relationship with Him and spend eternity in heaven.” That truth changes everything. Since Jesus gave His life for us, the natural response is to give our best—our time, our gifts, and our whole hearts—back to […]

John 8:23-24 Jesus said, “You people are from here below, but I am from above. You belong to this world, but I don’t belong to this world.  So I told you that you would die in your sins. Yes, you will die in your sins if you don’t believe that I am he.” Things have not […]

Matthew 13:52 “Therefore,” He said to them, “every student of Scripture instructed in the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who brings out of his storeroom what is new and what is old.” Look at that wall full of tools! There are old tools and new tools. Often, when FCFI is set up to […]

1 Timothy 1:13 In the past I spoke against Christ and persecuted him and did all kinds of things to hurt him. But God showed me mercy, because I did not know what I was doing. I did not believe. We have spoken before about how Paul (when he was Saul, mind you!) persecuted the […]

Isaiah 55:8-9 The Lord says, “My thoughts are not like your thoughts.     Your ways are not like my ways. Just as the heavens are higher than the earth,     so are my ways higher than your ways     and my thoughts higher than your thoughts. We often think our thoughts and our ways are the best. In […]

2 Corinthians 6:2 For He says: “In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. Years ago the Pennsylvania Northeast Chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Farmers, International was witnessing over a Labor […]

Matthew 10:16 I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves. How shrewd is a snake? This is the puzzling part about this verse. The innocence of doves is known to most of us. The symbol of a dove is often used for peace. The Spirit […]

Daniel 3:24-25 Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished; and he rose in haste and spoke, saying to his counselors, “Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?” They answered and said to the king, “True, O king.” “Look!” he answered, “I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the […]

Matthew 8:23-25 Now when He got into a boat, His disciples followed Him.  And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep. Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!” When we joined God’s family, […]
